No team is perfect. Alabama's offense was sloppy in its season-opening win against Virginia Tech. Ohio State was slowed by Buffalo before pulling away, and quarterback Braxton Miller missed most of Saturday's win against San Diego State with a knee injury.

Georgia's young defense remains an issue. Texas A&M's run defense is a sieve. Florida can't score points. Texas can't stop others from scoring points. USC doesn't have a quarterback. Michigan has a quarterback but needs more help along interior of the offensive line.

Every team has its flaws, it seems, except one, Oregon, which has rolled along as the fastest and most dangerous team in college football despite Chip Kelly's departure for the Philadelphia Eagles. Through two weeks, the Ducks have gained 1,329 yards of offense, scored 125 points and allowed only 13 points. That is against Nicholls State and Virginia â?? not quite Alabama and Ohio State. Nonetheless, the Ducks look as good as they've ever been.

So Oregon moves up in the 1-125 re-ranking. Who moves down? A quick list: Notre Dame, South Carolina, Florida, Cincinnati, Toledo, Western Michigan, Texas and USC â?? especially Texas and USC.

A word of caution: With only two weekends in the books, it's difficult to get a proper gauge on several Football Bowl Subdivision teams â?? like Texas, for example, though I think we all have an idea what direction the Longhorns are headed. The 1-125 re-ranking will take on a clearer picture by the start of conference play across the FBS. For now, Alabama remains No. 1, as you'll see below. But there's a new No. 2, as the Ducks take that three-spot leap:

- No. 23 UCLA (No. 29). The Bruins were idle, giving them a beautiful view of USC's disastrous conference loss to Washington State. UCLA returns to the field Saturday at Nebraska, in a key game for both team's BCS hopes.

- No. 25 Wisconsin (No. 30). The Badgers have had the luxury of slowing moving into the Gary Andersen against a pair of cupcakes, Massachusetts and Tennessee Tech. The schedule takes a tougher turn in Saturday's date with Arizona Staet.

Out of the top 25:

- No. 26 Northern Illinois (No. 20). Being idle dinged the Huskies' chances of remaining among the top 25. But with weeks to go against inferior competition, Northern Illinois will be back to stay by the end of September.

- No. 35 Texas (No. 9). There's no way to sugarcoat it: Texas has no business being included among the best teams in the FBS until it amends its severe issues on the defensive side of the ball.

Three big leaps:

- No. 50 Illinois (No. 108). The Illini burst out of the triple-digits and into the big time, thanks to a convincing win against Cincinnati. Illinois would move into the top 25 with a win against Washington.

- No. 63 Washington State (No. 87). WSU moves up a peg or two at the expense of USC, which has stumbled significantly during the first two weeks of the season. At some point, however, the Cougars will need to add more explosiveness on offense.

- No. 54 Texas Tech (No. 68). I hesitated during the summer and in last week's re-ranking, due primarily to concerns over Texas Tech's quarterback production, but the Red Raiders have seemingly regained their passing-game production under coach Kliff Kingsbury.

Three big drops:

- No. 122 Western Michigan (No. 96). The Broncos' latest loss came to Nicholls State, an FCS team with two wins to its name since the start of the 2011 season â?? both against Evangel University, an NAIA program in Missouri.

- No. 91 Wake Forest (No. 78). Let's put it lightly: Wake has not impressed through two weeks. For a team hovering on the edge of bowl eligibility, losing league games to an opponent like Boston College is a bad sign.

- No. 59 Toledo (No. 43). On one hand, Toledo played tough but lost two games to SEC competition â?? Florida and Missouri. On the other, the Rockets are always a menace during Mid-American Conference play, and could be better off for these early-season trials.
